COVID-19 shocker: Parents lied about their kids’ sickness status and broke quarantine rules, study finds
Fox News
A study published in the Jama Network Open found that nearly 26% of parents lied about their kids' COVID-19 status in order to preserve personal freedoms and prevent kids from missing school.
A team of researchers from universities in Iowa, Utah, Colorado, Connecticut and the U.K. conducted the study. Twenty-one percent of parents who responded to a recent survey said they permitted their child to "break quarantine rules."

Of the 580 U.S. parents who responded to a national online survey in December 2021, more than a quarter reported "misrepresentation and/or nonadherence" in at least one of seven behaviors.
